Restoration/restomod long since complete! I have been remiss about updating this thread since I completed my restoration/restomod last spring. Apologies. She is so sweet to ride, and I have frequently, on many of the trails I trained on with her predecessor over 20 years ago. The final specs...

Quite a dormant thread, but I picked up a Dual Action Pro frame at a swap meet a few weeks ago and I have refinished it and will be looking to build. Did you end up buying the pair? Would you happen to have any more photos of the Dual Action Pro decals?

Re: Re: I found a suitable replacement from a BMX supplier. Thank you for following up. :-)

Re: Lol!

Re: Re: I have seen many attempts at color matching that have started with a PMS equivalent request. Printing and painting are two totally different industries. PMS swatch books have nowhere near the range of lacquer colors available, with additives and clear coat effects. Rereading your...

Re: Well I'm going to make a start. Modern paint suppliers can mic a sample and match it very closely. Even with sun fade, on frames there would likely be some area where paint is relatively clean and unfaded. Nonetheless, I agree it would be harder for the two color fades and brilliant colors...

Does anyone have one they can shoot me a close-up photo of to try to match? My 1994 Team Issue project is missing the original seat post clamp fastener, and has a stainless 10mm metric machine bolt and 10mm nyloc aircraft nut instead. I am hoping these anodized units might be close, but purple...

Is there a listing/catalog of restoration paint color codes that members have found to match vintage frame sets and other painted bits? Specifically I am hoping that someone has a formula match for Rock Shox Judy yellow c.1995 and GT Timberline FS Green c.1995. I would be a cool idea to create...

The last functional bits for now are onboard. I rebuilt a single c.1995 Judy SL from bits of two boogered donors. I found a set of nearly new M900/DT/Mavic wheels with good rubber to thrash for the next few months before a full tear-down and bare frame restoration. My younger son's interest in...

Re: Can you ship to US?

Re: Re: I assume they will get scratched up rather quickly, but they will be MY battle scars, not someone else's. ;-)

XT M737 SPDs, Rock Shox Judy SL, and XTR M900/Mavic Wheelset It didn't take long to get the bits I was looking for, although I missed an opportunity to pick up a nice set of M900 XTR and Mavic 230 TIB wheels for a song because I slept through the auction close. :x Since I last posted, I...

Re: Shimamo M737s on their way. Cosmetically, need a lot of restoration, but mechanically very good. Any comprehensive DIYs for early SPDs?

Initial cleanup and stem replacement. Waiting on kit to refill shock damper, agree a bit with Sean Stephens that head tube geometry may not be optimal for a modern manitou with 100mm of travel, so I am going to see if I can adjust pre-load to sit somewhere a little lower and not be too soft to...

Re: 1992 Marin Team Issue rescue

Re: Beautiful bikes. Well done!

Re: Degreased, cleaned, and lubed everything up today. Disassembled fork and found damper to be completely empty. Ordered 10W oil because Clydesdale class now. Elastomers are good. Replaced both tire tubes, adjusted V-brakes and saddled up for first ride. AWESOME. Rode to my local bike co-op to...

Both are tasty, but what I really liked in your photos was the Indian Fire Trail frame set. I had that bike with Deore LX/XT before I put together my Team Issue! If I am suspending front, the roller stem is not needed (roller would go unused.) I need to source a 120mm Ritchey WCS I think, and...

Re: Re: Point taken, and since M900 XTR cantilevers are plentiful and (relatively) inexpensive, if I end up replacing the fork with a period correct Judy SL or Judy XC, I may just swap them out as a small gesture to period authenticity. It will also then make use of the cable centers on the...

I am over the moon that I found this 1994 Team Issue for sale 10 blocks from my home by happenstance. In 2000 or so, an identical 1994 Team Issue frame set I had built up into my competition XC whip was pinched from my garden shed. That bike had started as a bare frame, fork, stem, seat post...
